=============================希望無窮分隔線===============================
[Brian Dopirak]
Q:
Thanks for the chat, Jim! I'm confused by the wildly divergent opinions of
Brian Dopirak I've seen. B-Dope has been ranked anywhere from a top 10
overall prospect(!) to not even top 75. At the risk of oversimplifying,
doesn't he basically project along the lines of Ryan Howard & Jason Stokes
(.260-.270, 35-40 HR, 50-60 BB in his prime)? Thanks again!
A:
When some of the BA editors put together our personal Top 50s for the
Prospect Handbook, I put Dopirak at No. 26. He has huge power and has a
clue at the plate. He also was 20 last year, so he has plenty of time to
develop. I like him more than Howard, and while Stokes is a prospect, I think
he's generally overrated. I'd easily take Dopirak over Stokes.
[Felix Pie]
Q:
What is Felix Pie ceiling right now? Carl Crawford or Carlos Beltran? If
neither, what MLB player does he profile as?
A:
Pie has a high ceiling, but you can't put his current power anywhere near
in the same category as Beltran's, so I'd put him closer to Crawford.
He's got a much better arm than Crawford, so there's no reason Pie
won't be able to stay in center field (well, except for maybe Corey
Patterson).
[Ryan Harvey]
Q:
Ryan Harvey hasn't done anything as a pro yet, what is it that keeps him
ranked so high, 2 years after being drafted?
A:
Who was that guy who 14 homers in 58 games at short-season Boise at age 19,
then tore up the Northwest League playoffs? Why, it was Ryan Harvey!
His 77-20 K-BB ratio is a little scary, but he had a very good year
for someone young for his league. His big-time power is right there with
Dopirak's--they both are products of Dunedin (Fla.) High, for what that's
worth--and he's a good all-around athlete. Harvey has the chance to be very,
very, very good.
Q:
Of the top ten prospects, which one are you most uncertain will reach his
potential?
A:
Hmmm. Good question. Probably Harvey, just because he's the furthest away.
[Angel Guzman]
Q:
What's the truth about Angel Guzman? Will he ever be ready?
A:
You can't handle the truth, Jimmy. No, seriously . . . Guzman began his rehab
as soon as he could after he had his shoulder scoped in 2003, and he worked
so hard without taking time off, that he was worn out before the end of
the 2004 season. The Cubs just decided there was no hurry, so they shut him
down as a precautionary measure. He should be good to go in 2005, and you
may see him in Wrigley Field at some point this summer.
[Billy Petrick]
Q:
I'm a huge Cubs fan and think they have a bunch of stud pitchers in the
minors. Looking at the numbers, why does is Petrick ahead of Pinto?
A:
Tank, put your clothes back on before your wife sees you. I think Billy
Petrick has a chance to be a real breakthrough prospect in 2005. He has
a heavy, heavy sinker, and his slider and changeup are starting to happen
for him. His command is better than Pinto's, too.
[Renyel Pinto]
Q:
Is Pinto overrrated? His numbers were the best in the organization and there
is little speculation that he will make it to the show this year.
A:
I don't think Renyel Pinto is overrated, and you have to respect the year he
had in Double-A as a 21.5-year-old. But some scouts think he doesn't pitch
as well as the sum of his stuff or his stats might indicate, mostly because
his command and location are his weakness. He's still young and fairly
advanced, so I can see him turning out pretty well.
==============================上上下下分隔線==============================
[Jason Dubois]
Q:
Many people believe Jason Dubois has proved scouts wrong on every level and
deserves more respect as a prospect. How do you see his ML future working
out? And how does he compare to Jason Bay?
A:
I think Dubois can hit, and I hope Dusty Baker gives him the chance to prove
it. I don't think he'll be a star, but he can be a solid, cost-effective
left fielder for the Cubs. Both Bay and Dubois tore up the PCL, if that's
where you're going, but Bay is a better all-around athlete.
[Matt Murton]
Q:
How far was Matt Murton from making the Top 10 and what do you see his
ceiling being in the majors and when do you think he'll make it to the big
leagues? Thanks a lot.
A:
He was as close as could be, coming in at No. 11. (Lewis was No. 12, and if
anyone wants to know more specifics about our Cubs Top 30, they'll have to
buy the 2005 Prospect Handbook!) Murton may be the best pure hitter in the
system, though some who saw him in the Florida State League last year
questioned how much power he'll ultimately develop. The last spot on the Top
10 came down to Murton and Jason Dubois. They have similar profiles, but
Dubois had a huge year in Triple-A, so I gave him the nod.
[Todd Wellemeyer & Michael Wuertz]
Q:
Where do the Cubs expect Wellemeyer and wuertz to be thisn season and where
are they on the prospect list?
A:
Both Todd Wellemeyer and Mike Wuertz will get the opportunity to make the
bullpen this year. It also wouldn't surprise me if Wellemeyer got traded
to some club that will return him to the rotation. He doesn't qualify for
the list any longer, but Wuertz is in the 11-20 range.
========================== hate 分隔線 XDD ================================
[Dusty Baker]
Q:
Just because Dusty Baker hit .321 with 17 HR and 76 RBI as a 23-year old
rookie, does he expect everybody to be able to do this? Doesn't he realize
that Barry Bonds hit .223 in 400 at bats his rookie season, and that his
encore was hitting .261 in 551 at bats the following year? What gives with
Dusty's reluctance to give young guys time to develop in the majors? If
Bonds's first two seasons didn't teach him something, maybe the fact that he
only hit .300 or higher twice more in his 19 year career should.
A:
No idea why Dusty is that way, but never had thought to look at it in
terms of his own career.
